CLASSES 


Scientific  and  Literary 

The  Library  aims  to  help  those  who 
wish  to  help  themselves  in  self-improve- 
ment. Educational  classes  are  conducted 
for  this  purpose.  The  only  tuition  re- 
quired is  membership  in  the  Carnegie 
Library  Club. 

In  the  Mechanical  Drawing  class  the 
work  is  of  the  most  practical  character. 
The  technical  points  that  usually  occupy 
time  in  a  class  of  this  kind  are  omitted. 
Every  effort  is  made  to  have  the  student 
become  proficient  in  the  useful  phases  of 
the  subject.  Mr.  A.  W.  Soderberg,  the 
instructor  in  this  class,  is  the  assistant  me- 
chanical engineer  in  the  Homestead  Steel 
Works  and  has  conducted  this  class  for 
several  years.  The  outfit  used  in  this 
class  will  be  furnished  at  $4.50  and  up. 

The  class  in  Common  Branches  in- 
cluding practical  arithmetic,  grammar, 
geography;  spelling,  reading  and  writing 
will  be  taught  by  Prof.  C  C.  Marshall  of 
the  Homestead  High  School. 

The  class  in  Higher  Branches  includ- 
ing higher  arithmetic,  algebra,  geometry, 
trigonometry,  physics,  also,  will  be  taught 
by  Prof.  Marshall.  The  lessons  in  these 
classes  are  taught  on  the  plan  of  individual 
instruction.  A  student  may  advance  as 
rapidly  as  he  is  able. 

The  Metallurgy  class  will  be  con- 
ducted on  the  lecture  plan.  A  syllabus 
will  be  given  of  most  of  the  lectures  so 
that  a  student  missing  a  night  will  have  an 
opportunity  of  keeping  up  with  the  class. 
While  a  knowledge  of  chemistry  is  an 


advantage  it  is  not  necessary,  to  be  able  to 
understand  most  of  the  lectures. 

If  sufficient  interest  is  manifested  a 
University  Extension  course  may  be  estab- 
lished. This  will  be  a  fitting  supplement 
to  the  educational  classes  and  the  study 
clubs. 

A  class  in  which  foreigners  may 
learn  English  will  be  organized  later  in  the 
season. 

Music 

The  Carnegie  Library  Band  is  under 
the  direction  of  Mr.  John  P.  Jones.  Free 
concerts  are  given  each  month  in  the 
Music  Hall  during  the  winter  season  and 
in  the  band  stand  during  the  summer. 
The  band  is  composed  of  thirty  members 
and  is  open  for  engagements  at  reasonable 
prices. 

The  Symphony  Orchestra  also  con- 
tributes towards  the  free  musical  concerts 
given  during  the  winter. 

The  Junior  Orchestra  under  the  di- 
rection of  Mr.  Thomas  H.  Jones,  furnish- 
es an  excellent  opportunity  for  amateurs  to 
play  in  concert. 

The  Male  Chorus  this  year  will  be 
directed  by  Paul  Peters  Reese  the  well 
known  baritone.  The  voices  will  be  se^ 
lected  and  only  those  coming  up  to  a  fixed 
standard  will  be  admitted. 

Finally  the  Children's  Chorus  which 
will  be  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Evalyn 
Laffer,  the  director  of  music  in  the  Home- 
stead Schools.  This  chorus  has  the  effect 
of  concentrating  the  picked  voices  in  the 
public  schools  in  concert  work  that  not 
only  benefits  the  children  but  entertains  the 
public  once  or  twice  each  year.
